Functional mapping of the cardiorespiratory effects of dorsal and median raphe nuclei in the rat
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2005 The dorsal (DRN) and median (MRN) raphe nuclei are important sources of serotonergic innervation to the forebrain, projecting to sites involved in cardiovascular regulation.

Calcitonin gene products and the kidney [PDF]
, 1989 Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is localized in capsaicin-sensitive nerve fibres in the kidney and urogenital tract whereas calcitonin reaches the kidney through the general circulation.

The carotid body as a putative therapeutic target for the treatment of neurogenic hypertension [PDF]
, 2013 In the spontaneously hypertensive (SH) rat, hyperoxic inactivation of the carotid body (CB) produces a rapid and pronounced fall in both arterial pressure and renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSA).

Neural Regulation of Urothelial Water Transport: Pelvic Nerve Stimulation Induces Aquaporin-2 and Vasopressin V1a Receptor Translocation in the Rat Urinary Bladder [PDF]
International Neurourology JournalPurpose Aquaporin-2 (AQP2) and vasopressin V1a receptor (AVP-V1a) are membrane proteins involved in water transport regulation in renal and extrarenal tissues. Their presence in the urinary bladder suggests a role in local water handling.

Activation of Orexin System Stimulates CaMKII Expression
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Hyperactivity of the orexin system within the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) has been shown to contribute to increased sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) and blood pressure (BP) in rodent animals. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear.

Electrical stimulation of renal nerves for modulating urine glucose excretion in rats
Bioelectronic Medicine, 2018 Background The role of the kidney in glucose homeostasis has gained global interest. Kidneys are innervated by renal nerves, and renal denervation animal models have shown improved glucose regulation.
